Postman, the leading API platform, has announced plans to open an API Lab at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani (BITS Pilani) to promote API literacy amongst students and aspiring developers. Set to open in December 2022, the API Lab at BITS Pilani will cultivate interest in APIs and provide a space for students to build new skills through ideating, innovating, and tinkering with new projects. 

As part of Postman’s Student Program initiative, which is designed to promote API literacy amongst students and educators, the new API Lab at BITS Pilani will provide a space for students to explore this emerging technology. Through this, students can build new skills and capabilities that give them a competitive edge in the job market.
“The new API Lab exemplifies tremendous generosity on behalf of Postman’s co-founders and BITS alumni, Abhinav Asthana and Abhijit Kane; the BITS Pilani giving program has never seen such a significant contribution from young alumni,” said Professor Souvik Bhattacharyya, Vice-Chancellor of BITS Pilani. “The API Lab and the Postman Classroom Program will prove to be a constant source of inspiration for students, and become a catalyst for more startups to rise from across all BITS Pilani.”
